The Chart Show: 'Royals' Crowned Again

Sponsor

Lorde returns to the top for the fifth week total. Her album was released in the U.S., and she got good reviews for her sold-out NYC shows. Great to hear that she includes her cover of The Replacements' "Swingin' Party". That might expose them to a whole new audience!

Speaking of the Brit contingent on the Chart, soccer and music go hand in hand over there, so every week we'll bring the two together on our blog with the new feature On the Ball. If you support an EPL team, tell us which one and why in the comments section below.

We lost Har Mar Superstar and Elvis Costello and The Roots after only one week, and TV on the Radio after three. Savages and Poliça return after a week's hiatus.

Chan Poling of The Suburbs returns to his other project The New Standards; he'll be on The Morning Show with Jill and Steve Friday morning when tickets go on sale for their big holiday show, which this year takes place at the larger State Theater.
